One option for us is to create a private AHL only section within the FCP forum. The downside to this is that FCP is on a lot of block lists as a gambling site for corporate or other wifi networks. Does anybody have any experience with being blocked from FCP from a place where they often would try and access it ?

Some wifi I use every once in a while blocks it. It must not be that important because I can't remember which one.

Works for me at work, but I would prefer to not visit a "gambling" site from my work computer - that said, the forum isn't so integral that I need to visit it daily anyways, and can certainly do it from my phone.

i can’t access it from any city of Toronto computer or network. Which means while at work for 24 hours at a time I’d be hard pressed to get on it.

I'll have Champions League and Survivor Pages posted up here and updated when we get the scores in. In the meantime I'm really liking the following format for Champions League going forward:

4 divisions of 5 based on +/- in first season then relegation every year after that
-Elite
-Upper
-Lower
-Bottom Feeder
16 game season- play each team 4 times
Top Seed gets a bye
#2 plays #3 in a best of 3 series with #2 seed winning all ties
#4 seed avoids relegation
#5 seed is relegated
League final is a best of 5 series
Winner of league final is promoted to higher league
Prize money weighted by division from top to bottom, incentivizing teams to avoid relegation and try to move up

I'm blocked from using the site at my work but I always have my phone with me. As long as I can navigate with that then I'm OK.

When I go to a fast food restaurant, and my order comes to $6.28, I like to give the cashier $18.71. They look at me and say 'What's this?' and I say 'I'm all in'. They usually fold.

Also as per Bob's suggestion earlier this year we aren't going to force teams to burn a a free year for players they call up from the farm early. We want to promote more young players coming up before being forced up by the Toewes rule. Currently, if you call up a Toewes rule player in the off season that player doesn't count against your cap. This coming season if you choose to forego the free spring call period for a farm player by calling him up in the off season, it will not count against your cap. Frankly, it was a silly oversight that is essentially just being corrected.

I think you mean the free Fall call up period in October. I assume you're talking about being able to designate a player as a Toews Rule player from your farm if you want to free up an extra farm roster spot to make picks with at the draft.

We are saying the same thing, but you say it a little differently. You don't need to designate them a "Toews Rule" player specifically since those players are labeled based on their number of games played. Its as simple as "any player you call up from the farm before the draft will not count against your cap."
What you are looking to add is the flexibility of maybe drafting a player and undoing the call up to make room. For me the key is to ensure you aren't burning a free year by taking a risk and calling up a rookie early.

I'm not sure that we're really saying the same thing, I think you're complicating it.

My suggestion is to simply designate a player as a Toews Rule player which puts them in limbo along with the automatic Toews Rule players where they don't count as one of your 20 farm players, they don't count as one of your 23 skaters at the auction and they don't count against the money you have available at the auction to sign your team. To me what you are describing is that they are part of the 23 skaters but their salary doesn't count which is different.

- everyone must have 23 players and 3 goalies when the auction is completed.

- after the auction Toews Rule players must be called up

- after Toews Rule players are called up then other players may be called up

- then pickups can be made

- your active roster + reserves cannot have more than 28 players TOTAL

I would suggest the farm limit of 20 not apply until the draft/auction is complete. This means players must either be called up or dropped to get to 20 players or less.

I would also suggest that any players dropped to comply with the farm limit be eligible to be picked up by other teams as long as the criteria is met.

I also think the Aho Rule should require players to be called up BEFORE they play 25 NHL games.
